Husky Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I don't know if this is just me but some days, for no particular reason, you get in the car and it just feels different? It feels alive! loads of power, have the windows down and it sounds great, completely glued to the road and just feels better than normal somehow? The car is my daily driver so it's not that i've been in a slower car or even that i've not driven it for a while, I drove it the day before. Today it just feels different, I know its got to be in my head Is this just me that gets this time to time? Quote
spursmaddave Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Have you got one of those Capitol Gold Love CD's in the car? I think I know what you mean though, mine is my daily driver too and it still makes me and sometimes yes it does feel like it has an extra little bit of Quote
D4XNY Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Nahh I notice that too, I reckon its the weather..... maybe feels more alive, cos of more oxygen content in the air? Humidity, those kind of factors, must also affect the roads, hence feel grippier etc I also have the days where it feels all over the place! ha ha Quote
Maccaman Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Got to agree with you John though I think it is more about how we feel. Quote

MacW Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I know exactly what you mean, and I'm convinced it's purely because some days you're lucky enough to not get caught behind that bloody Micra doing 30% under the sodding speed limit! The bastard! Quote

narcotix Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I feel that too with my Zed .. Some days it just feels exceptionally Good, and other days it just feels good ... LoL Quote
geoff-r Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I'm going to hop in my 100bhp civic and drive home from work, I guarantee I for one will not feel alive in that haha. Might have to go for a drive in the Nissan tonight, looks like it could be a nice night out. I know what you all mean but this is far more evident on FI cars, they really do go better in cooler weather. Quote
Tricky-Ricky Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I have noticed this with most cars i have owned, i think its simply down to being in sync with them at the time, like anything else, sometimes you just get everything right. Quote
Nik Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I've not had my Zed long enough to feel like this, but I used to swear-by; riding after cleaning my last bike, it felt like it cut through the air better! Quote
mattbowey Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 not felt it at all this week just to check, how many times you been out in the car this week, cos if you havent driven it, you aint gonna feel it. Quote
